YEREVAN. – The Kurdish issue for Turkey is becoming more important on
the background of the situation in Syria, expert Ruben Melkonyan told
Armenian News-NEWS.am adding the situation in Syria has sharpened the
Kurdish factor. As for Turkey’s call to the UN to set up a defense
buffer zone in the north of Syria, where refugees could reside
securely, Melkonyan said that Turkey is de-facto concerned about
half-independent Kurdish regions. It tries to set up a buffer zone
desiring to occupy some territory of Syria. To note, the Turkish FM
Ahmet Davutoglu has called the UN on Monday to set up a buffer zone
protecting Syria’s north, where the refugees could reside securely.
